BevBrownJr Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Of the 20 Texas high school football teams playing for state championships in 11-man football this week, only 2A Mart (57.0) has averaged scoring more points per game than Carthage (48.3).

DAWG91 Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Deja vu. Β I too want to go with the 'ol "Dawgs by 3 TD's" pick but I'm a bit gun shy after this past friday night. Β The turnovers were certainly harmful but what was most troubling was the Dawgs inability to make tackles consistently. Β Just have to tip my hat to the GR ball carriers and their blockers I suppose. Β Just. Β Win. Β We might prevail by a comfortable margin but if not, Β 1 point will work just fine to make this another Merry Christmas for DAWG NATION. Β Edited December 15, 2022 by DAWG91

cotton84 Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Think New England did on purpose a few years ago - strong wind, rain and a heckuva defense.Β

Β Maybe coaches should include in the group that goes to midfield for the coin toss the senior team member who ranks highest academically in the class. Designate him as the spokesman for the group. 1

PantherNation2015 Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 I guess itβs time to put out a score prediction. Β Iβm going with Carthage 45-28. Β I think the Texans will have some success with the power run game, but they will have some untimely turnovers that will be to their demise. Β I can see a 7-10 point game at the half, but overall Carthage plays a much cleaner game than last week and wins #9. 3

It's part of the game, no different than scouting, practicing, preparing leading up to the game. The coin toss is something that no one thinks about until a mistake is made...and you never know, had Mart gotten the ball first, or at least gotten it first in one of the halves it could have changed momentum...not likely but you never know. 1

cotton84 Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Coin toss - it is often done well before the game with the head coaches doing it and the midfield meeting just fake. Β

Technically I saw Carthage not punt from their end zone from time to time. Heck against Wyle @ state . Guess he is doing it right lol. Edited December 15, 2022 by Mojo1000 1
cotton84 Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 All defensive guys for Carthage are supposed to be ready to go tomorrow. Β I donβt see Wimberley lining up and power running at Carthage successfully. Β I do see them getting some good yardage off and on from the QB reading and keeping or handing off, depending on the defense, and a few passing plays. If the turnover battle is even, Carthage 42 -21.Β 4
